More and more mainstream analysts are identifying the coming AI crash, which is a good indication that it will happen soon.
So, what happens to all the data centers? They are already built but probably very expensive to maintain. Will many of them just be abandoned? Bought up by cloud computing companies? Scammers? Crypto miners? Can they be parted out and sold off piecemeal?
Will they be put to some productive use, or just become massive e-waste sites left to the locals to deal with?


A boom in local AI as people buy the crazy expensive video cards for pennies on the dollar for home usage?
Those gpu’s are not useful as video cards.
I said for local AI, I didnt say for gaming.
As long as you want a high wattage server running the electric bill up.
Press X to doubt
Yeah, these cards will most likely be in pieces rather than reused by people.
It’s also just that local AI is not worth the time and energy unless you’re a prick with too much money and incoherent ideology
Incoherent ideology ?
There’s a few people who are like:
Ah, yeah, I’ve seen that.
There are also people who want to run locally for other reasons as well.
Privacy being a big one, but there are others.
I’m not sure what the ratios are though.
Wouldn’t that be an inconsistent ideology?
Same thing
Can be synonymous, isn’t always.
Though my question was about what you thought rather than the word choice.
I think that means a dictator with a speech impediment.
I like the joke
